This study examines qualitative data on four individuals with developmental disability about their personal experiences after acquiring a disability certificate. A qualitative analysis reveals that the participants got over a denial that they were disabled after being diagnosed, and decided to acquire a disability certificate to get employed or welfare service. While the participants effectively use the certificate in their lives, they report mixed feelings on the issue. While one respondent experienced severe difficulties with disabled status related to employment, another faced a conflicted "uncertain" identity that was neither non-disabled nor disabled. The participants had made efforts to cope with these several conflicts between their past values and beliefs. The act of self-narration provided in the study gives the participants an opportunity to reconsider their experiences as "the way of getting along with society that gives them unsatisfactory reasonable accommodation, and themselves who cannot to perform as expected for their dis ability."
